Ancients in New York

A boy gets off a train, and feels an urge to focus on a thought in his head. He discovers that concentrating on that thought seems to move him into a whole new world. He can do it freely at will and has some fun flipping between his own reality and this new one that seems to exist. Suddenly he is made aware of a presence following him, a monster in the new reality is pursuing him.

While invisible in his original reality, the new reality he can see makes it clear that he is being chased. No amount of focusing can shake this creature approaching him, and switching realities doesn't seem to slow this creature down.

His only option is to run.

Ancients in New York is a "Gameboy" themed platformer with horror elements, made for the Bored Pixels Jam 3. This is our first game jam, so unfortunately the game is not 100% complete. This version contains two levels, which should adequately demonstrate the game mechanics.
